Introduction:

Parathyroid tumor function is not always positively correlated with tumor size, complicating the disease picture. Here, we compared parathormone (PTH) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A expression intensities in normal and adenomatous parathyroid glands, as well as the number of vessels, as determined by CD31 expression.

Methods:

Eight adenomatous and six normal samples were compared for the expression intensities of PTH and VEGF-A, expression granule area of VEGF-A per unit area (/900 μm²), and number of blood vessels. We then examined relationships between the expression intensities of PTH and VEGF-A and the number of blood vessels.

Results:

The mean (SD) expression intensities of PTH and VEGF-A were 179.7 (27.5) and 100.6 (13.9) bits, respectively, in the normal group-significantly higher than the 99.0 (37.6) and 73.5 (19.5) bits in the adenoma group (p<0.01). The mean (SD) expression granule area of VEGF-A was 86.0 (41.2) μm²/900 μm² in the normal group-significantly higher than the 13.7 (11.5) μm² in the adenoma group (p<0.001). The mean (SD) number of blood vessels by CD31 expression was 26.0 (6.9) in the normal group-significantly higher than the 13.9 (8.7) in the adenoma group (p<0.05). The mean expression intensity of PTH was positively correlated with the number of blood vessels in the adenoma group (R=0.802, p<0.05).

Conclusion:

Normal parathyroid tissue exhibits significantly higher expression levels of PTH and VEGF-A, along with more blood vessels per unit area, compared with adenomatous tissue.

The Parathyroid Glands

The Parathyroid Glands

The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Hormones and Bone Tissue

Hormones and Bone Tissue

The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
